Grooming Items Men Must Own!

By Manash Kashyap

As you come home for Christmas, does it amaze your teenage brother that you spend nearly double the time he spends in his bathroom? He will probably be startled when he gets his hands on your accessories for men's grooming, and few hours of yours may be spent in giving grooming tips to the next gentleman.

Men's grooming is not always about getting ready for that party where the who's who of tinsel town will be coming but it is more about staying fresh and presentable all day long, especially when you need to make long presentations and interact with a lot of clients in office followed perhaps by a party you need to attend on the way back home. Hence the need for an assorted list of those beauty items in your bathroom and a few grooming tips from a professional or a friend is what you need.

Grooming Items Men Must Own!

A few of these grooming tips may prepone your chances of getting promoted by your female boss! Keeping personal hygiene is however more important than any other men's grooming recipe and will really take you places! Here are few of the basic grooming items men must own!

Shaving kit: By far the first amongst men's grooming items! A good quality razor, a good brush, some warm water, a mirror, a good moisturising shaving cream or gel and of course a fragrant after shave lotion make up your shaving kit.

Brow grooming: If your unibrow gives you that villainous look, then keep a pair of fine and clean tweezers and an eyebrow brush handy. Wetting your eyebrows with some warm water can make it less painful.

Anti-fungal powder: All other men's grooming tips will fail if you start itching in the midst of your presentation. Choosing a good anti-fungal powder keeps you dry and can save you the blushes.

Deodorant: Using a good quality deodorant will help you feel fresh the whole day, and it can be as close as it gets in the deo ad! Further, an alcohol-free deodorant can save your skin from those residues.

Body Wash: If applying perfume is not your forte, a good body wash can still make you smell awesome. Follow up with a nice moisturiser which makes you smell masculine and fresh.

Moisturising Cream: A good sunscreen lotion with a moisturiser is amongst the best men's grooming items which preserves your skin against extremes of weather and sunlight without acting as an irritant.

Hair grooming: A good hair cream/ gel along with a comb helps you in getting that star look. It will keep your hair soft and smelling all day long and stiffen it up a bit according to your wish.

Tongue Cleaner/ Mouth Wash: A tongue cleaner and a good mouth wash can really help promote oral hygiene.

Face wash: A good face, according to your skin type is essential. This will help keep your skin acne-free, keeps it nourished and gives that fresh young look!

Wax Strips: You need not shy away from this grooming item as hair removal is no longer a woman-thing. Several pre and post wax removal recipes available also help ensures a smooth and rash-free skin.
